What This Role Is
Manifest Global's brands are seen before they are read. Before a school leader reads a word of a Cialfo campaign email, before a university admissions officer opens an Explore proposal, before a student in Mumbai or Dubai decides whether to trust the platform they've just discovered, they see something. A social ad. A conference banner. An event deck. An email layout. The visual quality of that first impression shapes what happens next.
Across four brands and multiple geographies, Manifest produces design work at significant volume: digital advertising, social content, email campaigns, event materials, print collateral, interactive experiences, and corporate communications. The audiences range from high school students and counsellors to school leaders, university partners, and education agents. Each brand has its own identity. Each audience has its own visual language. And the standard across all of it needs to be consistently high.
Right now, the central design function needs someone who can own that standard. Not as a production resource, but as the primary creative force behind Manifest's visual output: someone with the craft, the brand judgment, and the creative confidence to produce publication-ready work independently, raise the quality of everything the team outputs, and act as the brand guardian for the marketing function across all four businesses.
As Senior Graphic Designer, you'll be a hands-on individual contributor with real ownership of the visual expression of Manifest's brands across every major marketing touchpoint. You'll work closely with marketing, content, and product teams, translate briefs into finished creative independently, and set the creative bar the rest of the team works toward.
What You Own
Visual output across all marketing touchpoints
Lead the design and production of high-quality creative work across digital marketing campaigns, event experiences, interactive activations, and corporate collateral, from concept through to final production
Create and format visual elements across social, email, print, and out-of-home, with sharp judgment on typography, layout, imagery, iconography, and brand consistency across each brand's distinct identity
Produce short-form motion graphics and video assets to support campaign storytelling across digital platforms, working natively in After Effects and Premiere Pro
Brand guardianship across the Manifest group
Own the visual expression of Manifest's brands across all internal and external-facing design work, maintaining the brand systems that keep each brand distinct and consistent simultaneously
Act as the brand guardian for the marketing function: the person who catches inconsistencies before they go out, who pushes back when a brief would take a brand in the wrong direction, and who builds the templates and standards that make quality scalable
Build and maintain Canva Pro templates that allow non-designers on the team to produce on-brand work without needing a designer for every asset
Creative development and cross-functional collaboration
Translate campaign briefs into creative concepts independently, with the confidence to make the right call without needing extensive direction
Collaborate with marketing, content, and product teams to ensure creative quality and cohesion across all touchpoints, including how brand translates into product UI
Incorporate and synthesise feedback from multiple stakeholders into polished final deliverables, maintaining creative integrity and timeline discipline simultaneously
Mentor and provide creative direction to junior designers or agency partners where required, setting the standard and helping others reach it
What Success Looks Like
The markers below reflect where the design function is today. We'll calibrate the specifics once you're in the seat. These are directional, not fixed.
You'll start by building a clear picture of the current visual output across all four brands, what's strong, where the inconsistencies are, which brand systems need tightening, and where the highest-impact improvements are. You'll have a view on where to raise the standard first.
From there, the quality and consistency of Manifest's visual output will be visibly better. Campaigns will look like they were designed with intention for the platform and audience they're reaching. The brand systems will be cleaner and easier for the team to work within. The templates and standards you build will make the whole team faster without reducing quality.
Over time, Manifest's visual identity across all four brands will be something that makes the right impression consistently, whether a candidate encounters the brand on LinkedIn, at a conference, or in a product walkthrough. That's what this role is building toward.
The specifics will be calibrated once you're in the role. The direction won't change.
